The Outrage Upon CoIorow.

The report concerning the Ute trOub-
les in Colorado, which has just been
received at Washington from Lieut..
Burnett of the army, confirms emphat-
ically the conclusion that this affair
was first and last "white mans war"
Commissioner Atkins, in view of these
latest Developments, prOnOunces it the
greatest outrage of Indian history.
Lieut.. Burnett says the attack on the
Indians was treacherOus and unjusti-
fable, that Colorow with his entire
band, including women and children,
were en- route to the agency in Utah,
having determined to abandon their
claims to the old reservation when
they were Overtaken about 25 miles
from the agency by two officers of Col
OradO companies. They asked Colo
row to stop where he was until the
troops came up. He refused, saying
the squaws had gone on ahead. They
replied that he would not be molested,
and rode away. The next night the
Indians camped near the line of a re-
servation, supposing themselves on
the right reservation and entirely safe.
Next morning the Indians were attack
ed while at breakfast by the Colorado
troops and boys. One man, two
girls and baby were killed and sew
eral others wounded and the entire
Indian property was captured.

The Revolt at POnape.

A report has been received at Mad
rid from Gen. TerrerO, governor of the
Philippine islands, regarding the re-
volt of the natives of Ponape. He says
that some time ago man who was a
strong Catholic was appointed govern
or of Ponape. The governor found
that the American Methodist mission
airy, Mr.. Doane, who had lived in Pom
ape for 30 years, was very popular
with the natives. The governor de-
clared that Mr.. Doane's title to
the land upon which his church,
schools and houses stood was sufficient.
A quarrel ensued and the missionary
was arrested and imprisoned and after
ward sent to Manila. Here Mr.. Doane
appealed to the American consul and
lodged complaint with the Spanish
authorities. The latter found that Mr..
DOane had right to the land in ques-
ton, and sent an order to the govern
or of Ponape to appear in Manila and
explain his conduct. In the mean

Portland Record.

Did you ever stop to think what a
tireless letter writer good local news

ing into years, it goes on, telling of
marriages, births, deaths, the coming
and going of our people, the business,
success or failure, accidents, crops i'm
prOvements, in fact, events of all kinds
is the grist that comes to the hopper
of good local paper. Why, if you
were to write a letter each week and
tell half the news your paper gives,
you would give up in despair. The
supposed pleasure becomes tiresome,
the letters grow shorter, farther apart
and finally cease. Why the differ

it is business. People in a live news
paper town recognize this and take
pleasure in giving the editor news
items that you never learn. There
fore, make haste and subscribe. If
you already receive copy, send one

Moderation in Diet.

The Roman soldiers who built such
wonderful roads, and carried a weight
of armor and luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They
were temperate in diet, and regular
and constant in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances
half the night, yet eats only his black
bread, onion and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter eats only little fruit
and some olives, yet he walks off with
his load of hundred pounds. The
cOOlie, fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro fed on
fat meat. The heavy work of the
world is not done by men who eat the
greatest quantity. Moderation in diet
seems to be the prerequisite of endur-

Against the judicial
Murder.
The Infamous Verdict Z Grand Stride
On the Road Toward
Despotlsm.

AT a regular meeting of local
assembly 2327, held on the evening
Of September 30, the following
resolutions were passed without a
dissenting voice.
WHEREAS. Eight innocent men
have been condemned, seven to
death and one for fifteen years i'm
prisonment. ostensibly for murder
but in reality for being too promi.
nent in the Labor movement in
general and the short-hour move
ment in particular, and for daring
to tell the wage-workers the TRUTH
about their situation; and,
WHEREAS, The rights of free
speech, impartial jury trial, unrea-
sonable search and seizure, and
the right Of not being compelled
to testify against themselves,
were all violated as against these
defendants in the lower court; and
WHEREAS, The supreme court
of the state of Illinois has now
rendered on appeal decision in
which it leaves entirely unadjudi-
Gated these vital questions, and
reaffirms upon perjured testimony
and by special pleading the YER
dict of the lower court.
RcS0i9ed. That as Americans we
protest against this decision as an
immense stride toward despotism,
and as destructive to our constitu-
tional rights.
RfSoi9ed, That as Knights fla
Dor we would fail to do our duty
to our brothers, who have been
victimized for no other reason than
that they were prominent teachers
of the right of Labor to organize
and control its own affairs, if we
keep silent at this critical moment.
ReSol0ed, That we urge the
judges of the United States SUI
preme court to grant writ of su-
persedas so that these great ques-
tions may be finally settled.
ReSoiafd, That we urge the gov
ernor of the state of Illinois by
the exercise of the pardoning
power to set free these men whom
corrupt capitalism has unjustly
condemned to the gallows.
ReSolgfd, That copies of these
resolutions be sent to the LABOR
ENQUIRER of Denver and the Labor
enquirer of Chicago for publica-
ton; also copy to be sent to

National View.

National View.
Conservatism says no. 1t will
not do. Stand still; keep in the
the old ruts. Anything but max
ing an effort to get out of the old
paths; that will never do, the con-
servative says. No matter if bus
mess drags, if trade is dull, if
morals are at their lowest ebb,
and public prohigacy stalks abroad
with unblushing front, stand still
and suffer on. Look up at the
sun and wonder when the good
time will come.
This is modern wisdom, modern
donothingism--aye modern states
manship; and it amounts to about
as much in the scale of nonentity
itself.
Yes hang on to the old ways
when they have already done their
work. 1t may be consoling to
.good-natured conceit, good friends,
but it will be sure to leave you be-
hind in the race of life, as sure as
fate Keep plodding here, if you
please, and you will soon find
yourself among the debris of old
and forgotten things. From this,
good Lord, deliver us.
And so, if we would win in this
work of labor reform, we must ad-
vance with the tide, and "move
on"-keep well abreast of every
real forward movement. Leave
the old ruts and strike out for the
new thoroughfares, which lead us
on to better conditions in the
world of life and labor in which
we live. Let the industrial forces
of the country come together on
common ground-whereon all can
stand. Then, with union, harmony
and organization, success will
come.

Haskell's Lecture.

Early Sunday evening the seats
in Science Hall began to be filled
by those who were desirous of
hearing Burnette G. Haskell de-
liver his last lecture before a Den
yer audience. Long before 8
o'clock every one of the 400 chairs
were filled and late comers were
compelled to stand during the
delivery of the lecture.
Many strange faces were seen
in the audience, and among them
were a goodly number from the
ranks of those not known as wage
earncrs. The latter fact is a hope
ful one as it indicates the depth
and hold the social question is
taking on all who are capable of
thought.
A brief synopsis of Mr.. Has
kells lecture is as follows:
He began first by an exposition
in the light of several charts.
Chart | showed the facial angles
of a baboon. savage and civilized;
chart II located Judgment will"
and memory" the three mental
developments that distinguished
in man the original thinker from
the ignorant individual of the
mob; chart III explained in a
lucid manner the laws of original
types. differentiation, selection,
hcredity and environment, and
chart " applied the lessons thus
learned to society as whole,
treating it as an organism subject
to the same laws as the individual.
MIR. Haskell then introduced an
object lesson and by means of one
set of boxes representing the pro-
duct of labor, and another set rep
rcscnting the money circulation,
demonstrated from Uuited States
census figures the fact that the
worker really receives in actual
value only about one-twelfth Of
his product. He showed also how
the markets became glutted with
goods, how panics arose, how they
necessarily became deeper and
wider IN Intensity each year and
closer and closer together throw
ing at each recurrence more and

more wages slaves permanently
out Of work. Then by the figures
Of productiod and distribution he
predicted within ten years an al
most perpetual state of panic.
This. he said, is the end. Capital
will then have cut its own throat
and further profit production will
have become impossible.
He called attention to the fact
that the capitalist class alone were
the ones who we're making dyna-
mite and preparing for the slaugh-
ter of human beings. He de-
scribed Lieut.. Zalinski's dynamite
gun and several other govern
mental experiments, touched upon
the police and military, street riot
drill, Pinkertons and hangmen
and showed conclusively that the
men of violence and the men of
gold were identical.
All that the Socialists had to
oppose this brutality with was the
dynamite of ideas. That would
in the end be found far more pow
erful than brute force.
He regretted to say it, but be-
lieved the truth should be spoken.
The vice of the people was cow
'ardice. Civilization among the
workers had taught them sad
and brutal patience under the whip,
the very sight of which would have
reused their ancestors to fury.
There would be yet more hang
ing of Socialists for speaking the
truth. And yet we must go on
speaking. Better spend our blood
freely for liberty than save it for
our bushes.
The ignorant and brutal rich
and the ignorant and starving poor
were glaring upon each other and
sometime would spring at each
others throats. The Socialist,
the educated man, had but one
duty to perform, to educate both
sides and to strain every nerve
while there was yet time to pre-
vent such useless contest and to
reconcile ignorance with ignorance
in the temple of truth.
The room was then darkened
and for an hour or more pictures
from the stereopticon illustrating
the history of America and its
present condition were thrown
upon the screen. The lecture that
accompanied them pointed and
adorned the moral of true Ameri-
canism and exemplihed American
principles. To be loving, truthful,
courageous. brave and honest; to
die rather than sacrifice principle
to starve rather than compro-
mise with wrong,-these were the
ethics of Democracy and this Re-
public.
Let us all live so that these
things may become living facts.

We are glad to know that there Is
q we'll defined movement in motion,
70 bring two excursion trains from
the east to this city. One is via the
Santa Fe and the other via the Rock
Island. We are decidedly in favor
Of this unovment for several reasons;
and we are grati6ed to know that we
possess not only the facilities to se-
eOmplish this end, but the push,
energy and ability 70 do 80.
Salina has attractions peculiar to
herself to the stranger who sees her
for the first time. We doubt very
much II there lie . city in the state that
lie as we'll qualified TO impress its i'm
pOrtanee and advantages upon its Wis
itOrs as s alma. Her long, wide,
straight avenues; her educational
temples; her beautiful parks; her
majestic business buildings and res
licences; her railroad facilities; her
IufactOring Industries; her busy
mArts Of trade; her location; her
agricultural surroundings; her en-
terPrlslng and genial business men,
all combine 10 make her q favOrite to
the persons visiting her for the first
time, and a. their acquaintance
ripens and natures, their faith and
admiration increase.
In view Of the above, and the pc
cullar facilities the two roads just
completed into the city, offer to
bring people from different parts Of
the east, we cannot hut conclude that
now is the time to avail ourselves Of
the opportunity Of bringing as our
guests, people from q distance, that
they may know what advantages
lay undeveloped and unOceupied in
and around the busy hub Of central
Kansas. We can lose nothing, but
gain much by this venture.
We sincerely trust that our bust
ness men and citizens generally will
take hold Of this matter with their
usual vim and determination, and il |
Is bound to succeed.
